Pretty in Peacock
Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 | trends, weddings | No Comments
Here is a 10.10.10 wedding that was 16 months in the planning and 10 years in the making…Erin + Devlin are an awesome couple that decided to get married on their tenth anniversary of dating. At various stages they thought they’d get married in Jamaica or India, but in the end decided to get married in Calgary so all their friends and family could attend.
The peacock feather was our inspiration….which gave us a sumptuous colour palette…coppers, teals, browns and greens.
The bride walked down the blue aisle runner (with copper monogram) in her fabulous teal shoes. The bridesmaid wore navy and the maid of honour wore chocolate brown. The groom, best man, and father of the groom wore very stylish brown tuxedos.
Deep Blue Sea martini anyone?
The seating chart, menus, table numbers, candy buffet sign, photobooth pix, martini luge, and dance floor gobo all bore their custom wedding day logo with touches of damask & a peacock feather….pretty!
The head table was adorned with teal & brown damask which was reiterated on the cake.
Congratulations you two…all the best! xo

I’ve been interviewed numerous times on the issue of destination weddings – including a 2 part piece on global news…but this is the first time I’ve written about it.
Here is an article from the latest edition of The Calgary Bridal Guide…enjoy!

Another one of our fabulous couples is featured in the latest issue of The Calgary Bridal Guide.
It was such fun working with them…they were so cute & very sweet. They both graduated from medical school a few days before their wedding so it was a particularly joyous celebration.
All the best to the cutest M&Ms ever!
CSEP in the house!!

I’m excited to announce I received my CSEP (Certified Special Events Professional) designation this morning. It’s a VERY long process. If you’d like to read a bit more about it take a look at this link:

I just did a search on the ISES website and there are only 8 (including me) CSEPs listed in all of Canada…I guess I’ve joined an exclusive club!

This happy & sunny colour palette of soft pinks & bright yellows was the perfect antidote for a gray & rainy wedding day.
We adorned the chairs with lovely little paper lanterns tied with a swathe of wide satin ribbon. The altar flowers were just stunning – tall vases filled with lemons topped with pink roses and oodles of orchids. The aisle was awash in 6,000 rose petals.
Table centerpieces were lemon-filled glass cubes with hydrangeas and dahlias…so pretty…and the whole room was very inviting. Lots of warm pink uplighting, lots of candles, and of course lots of fabulous custom wedding day printing.
This couple lives in Los Angeles – and they were just a delight to work with. The wedding needed to reflect their shiny, happy personalities…and it sure did…right down to the scrumptious macarons (1 pink, 1 yellow, of course!) in the cute customized favour boxes at each place setting…mmmMMMmm.
Best wishes! xo

We were thrilled to see the very first featured wedding in the latest issue of The Calgary Bridal Guide.
We loved this couple – we worked with them for about 17 months – and they were awesome.
Such a beautiful bride…!
…and we got to make all the details fun, ecclectic & just a little bit crazy…just like them!
Love at the Lake

This wedding had a very juicy colour palette of turquoise, teal and apple green. For the ceremony it was punctuated with a pattern of coral rose petals down the aisle which perfectly matched the bridesmaids dresses. With the magnificent view of the lake and the tempestuous skies, simple was all that was required for a truly memorable ceremony site.
The very moment the bride signed the marriage license there was a great clap of thunder and it started to rain. The groom was thrilled with the timing…he told me now he’s got a great story for the rest of his life!
Cocktails managed to be both cozy & elegant – and the two signature cocktails were a huge hit.
Some well-placed uplighting can really make a huge difference. The alternating green + blue on the columns surrounding the guest tables both accentuated the colour palette and delineated the room.
I made sure the bride and groom had a great view of the lake…but with such amazing vistas from every angle, it didn’t really matter where you were seated in this beautiful space. The details were kept quite clean and chic. Centerpieces of granny smith apples and green hydrangeas and orchids, teal runners and green napkins, our ubiquitous custom wedding day printing and a ton of candlelight.
The custom glassine bags were so cute…the candy buffet was a huge hit…guests started raiding the candy buffet before dinner was even finished…sour gummy worm anyone?
